I really regretted missing this movie when it played in the theaters.  Fortunately, it came out on DVD and we prepared to watch it on our projector with a great sound system.  This normally far exceeds the movie theater experience of anything short of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Unfortunately, this movie was a little bland to say the least.

The Egyptian themes with replica pyramids, and the slave revolt against the false god seemed like another repeat of Star Gate, including the adolescent boy who didn’t quite manage to die in this movie.

All in all, I wouldn’t even recommend watching this on DVD, unless you are the type of person to watch everything that goes through the video rental store anyway.  I’d recommend just waiting for this one to show up on HBO some day. Don’t get me wrong, its an OK story and will keep you occupied and slightly entertained, but there are too few scenes with mammoths and saber tooth tigers and too much other well just nonsense. I’d rate this much higher than watching paint dry and a little below going shopping for modern furniture But not nearly as bad as watching reality tv.
